Traditions

We went to a wedding this past weekend.  I love weddings, a big party that brings friends & families, the young and the old together in celebration.  A fusion of traditions both old and new, ones that bind you to your culture or religion or to your new family.  Halfway through my own wedding I changed from my white wedding dress into a brilliant red jacket and skirt decorated with a dragon and pheonix of gold and silver faux jewels and sequins that would make Liberace blush.  And in this outfit I poured tea and offered it to my elders as a show of respect.  This past weekend I was on the receiving end, tea poured by my nephew and his new bride, everything comes full circle.
